Iga-Ikki

The Iga-Ikki were a feudal Japanese samurai clan from Iga Province, aligned with the Tokugawa during the Sekigahara Campaign.

History
The largest family in Iga were the Hattori, led by Hanzo Hattori. Hanzo was one of Ieyasu Tokugawa's loyal generals, and stood to use his considerable influence in Iga to enforce the Tokugawa position against the Toyotomi. He was not situated in the most convenient place, with Iga completely surrounded by Toyotomi loyalists that might show agression at any time. They fought for the Tokugawa in the 1598-1600 Sekigahara Campaign, and Hanzo fought and died in the Siege of Osaka in 1615.
